I've had 2 children attend Ebenezer, they graduated 9 years apart and I can honestly say the quality of education they received did not diminish with time. The level of excellence and the high standard to which each student is expected to maintain has never faltered. Ebenezer provided a genuine well-rounded Christian based education that gave them the spiritual strenght to survice the peer pressures and emotional tug of war they faced in high school and college. Ebenezer was the best investment I made for my children's future.

Ebenezer is the school of my choice. When my daughter started I was worried because she was coming from another country and I wasn't sure how she would adjust. The teachers took the time to work with her and I was amaze at how much she has adjusted. This school reminds me of back in the days when school teaches children about Christ. Ebenezer is a family oriented school that is safe and still keep God in what ever they do. The teachers are friendly, kind, loving and always motivates your child to do their best, they set up your child for success. At Ebenezer children are their priority. Bring your child to Ebenezer the doors are always open with welcoming arms.

Ebenezer is the best school; I would advise you to send your children there. The school is family oriented, Christ centered, and safe. When you send your child there you never have to worry. Classrooms has small groups of children, and the teachers are warm and welcoming, if your child is struggling in a subject the teachers will spend the time with them to ensure that they understand it. Ebenezer is the SCHOOL OF MY CHOICE!!!!

THE WORST OF THE WORST I STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU FIND A SCHOOL WITH A WAY MORE CARING STAFF AS WELL AS MORE EXPERIENCED TEACHING STAFF WHO CAN ACTUALLY CATER AND HELP STUDENTS GROWN !!!!!!

I've had a great experience with the school. My child started from nursery and now after years at the school, I am in awe of how prepared for college they are. This preparation was achieved through the school's sense of community, instilled faith and determination of seeing their students succeed both academically and personally. I am forever greatfull to the school for providing such a strong foundation in my child's education.

My daughter is now in college, she was able to excel in HS and she told me much of her 9th grade work was repetitive of what she learned in 8th grade. The school is family oriented so they treat you like you belong. God is at the forefront which is how it should be. I would always recommend Ebenezer as my school if choice.

Very very very good experience and would send my future grandchildren there. My 3 children are graduates and now have their masters degrees from Ivy League colleges-no doubt the foundation from Ebenezer Prep played an integral in shaping their educational careers. Great school choice-would do it again!!!!

I wouldn’t recommend anyone going to this school. It’s overpriced for no reason. This school doesn’t care to help your child if they have a learning disability.

I have 3 children that attend this school. It is a family atmosphere and the teachers really care.The students leave with great character, a sense of community and integrity.

This school is average but I would never recommend to anyone. They have bad hygiene including: Rats roaches flies and etc. They have small walk space and their cafeteria is small. Also they have centipedes. I feel like they can do better if they put money into the school.

Ebenezer pushes their students to excel and strive for excellence. In pre-k my son was already doing kindergarten level homework. The teachers at Ebenezer care for the students and take a personal interest in their education. The school is founded on Christian principles and teaches the students to put God first. Ebenezer not only prepares students to succeed educationally but lays the foundation for their students to live a Godly life. Ebenezer instills in their students respect and integrity. Ebenezer is a GREAT school family!

Garbage in Garbage out...Ebenezer is both a shell shock for students and parents. Ebenezer Faculty help Parents to continue childs spiritual and educational growth after the schools doors are closed. Most don't like this idea, because they don't understand what they're paying for. Which is impossible to pay for because it priceless. I recommend Ebenezer to anyone really wants to build a solid foundation for their children and children's children.

I am absolutely satisfied with Ebenezer! As I am reading some of these posts I am actually feeling confused and a bit sad. Sad because this is a Christian based private school keywords Christian and Private; Christians should be praying for the progression and prosperity of the school, staff, and most importantly their children instead of trying to deter people from sending their children to a school that will introduce your children to the knowledge of Christ along with an EXCELLENT education. I'm reading comments regarding Sports and gym... this isn't a city funded school, therefore sports and any other EXTRA CURRICULUM ACTIVITY would have to be funded(fundraisers) by the parents and staff. I never had a problem with paying to see my child in any show that she was involved in because if she was in a dance studio, (that you pay for weekly for 1 session) you still must pay for the show along with their costume. Lets not lose focus, this is a school where children go to learn and I get my money's worth with EDUCATION. And lets not forget the bonus CHRIST! Ebenezer is great and I do not benefit from this post only you and your child. Pray about it! May God Bless and good luck.

Ebenezer Prep is an amazing school that pushes students to become great things in life. I have attended the school since Kindergarten through the 8th grade. Throughout those nine years, Ebenezer has surely impacted positive things in me. I especially enjoy chapel services in the morning. Those services allowed me to start my day off right with the Lord. I highly recommend parents to send their children to Ebenezer because I know that their children would leave as intelligent young men and women.

Ebenezer Preparatory School is not a sound school.. I disagree with the way they measure students' progress. There is no solid curriculum that prepares students to move on to a good high school. Administrators at ebenezer are not looking out for the best interest of their students when they leave. Students in the eighth grade are not exposed or do not get an opportunity to take any high school regents in the eighth grade. Nevertheless, even administrators do not enlighten parents of various incentives students may have prior to high school because it does not benefit them, no money in their pockets. Parents do your research and think about the development of your child in the long run. Is all the money invested in their education paid out to ebenezer really worth it. Are administrators really concerned with the academic development of your child??? Do your research!!!!

I was a student at Ebenezer Preparatory School, and have since then graduated. Ebenezer is an unsatisfactory school. The teachers have no type of formal teaching and quite frankly I think the school is being brought down by SOME of these teachers. They have Gospel Fests, Gospel Dances, Christmas Pageants and other various occasions. If you want to see your child perform you have to PAY an amount of money. It's your child you shouldn't have to pay to see your child perform. Some of the classrooms are small and rundown. There are no pictures, or ANY type of imagery to brighten up the atmosphere. No recess, or any type of sport activity is used. If you want your child to do some type of sports activity you have to pay almost $100 for them to take part. When I began to come to this school in 2004 in Kindergarten and I honestly loved the school but as I grew older I HATED the school. THANK GOD I HAVE FINALLY LEFT AND FOCUS BETTER ON MY EDUCATION!!!!!

Ebenezer prep school is not what i thought it was. the school is not very warm and fuzzy. the classrooms are bare and not very welcoming, especially for the nursery students. these kids are 3 years old, they're babies. their classrooms are simply made of 4 walls. really, there's no carpet, no mat, no blocks, no table toys, no pictures on the walls to attract the kids. they go in and simply sits at a table. some aspects of the school is great, like going to chapel, and learning verses of the Bible and singing. but i think school should be a misture of academics, arts, music and FUN. i feel that the kids are not having fun. i was hoping i can leave my daughter there for another year, but i'm rethinking the idea.

WARNING!!! Parents do not waste time or money with this school. Ebenezer is a SCAM they are always begging for money and administration or the PTA never reports how much money was raised or what the money was used for. There is no real evidence that the monies from the fundraisers are going to a good cause. Beware of the summer school scam-if a child fails two or more classes in the 1st and 2nd term he will receive a letter stating he may to attend summer school but in the last term the policy mysteriously changes, and if the child fails one class he is automatically slated for summer school. Parents are informed about summer school at the last minute and are expected to pay $600 for the program. If your child must attend Ebenezer beware of the things mentioned in this post and if something doesn't seem right it probably isn't so SPEAK UP and don't allow them to avoid you.
